When a loved one passes and the initial shock sets in (and it is shock whether they have been sick and suffering for years or they go suddenly); one of the most difficult realities we face is the understanding that we will never see that person again - not in this life - not in this world. How can that be? How absurd and cruel and mysterious is this factor of death? The comfort that I have found and that I wish for you, is that my loved ones have visited me in my dreams. There was a delay and I don't know if it was because their souls had to set somewhere beautiful and mystical or if it was my own subconscious protecting me and allowing a period of mourning. What I do know is that having them visit me in my dreams has always felt very real and so I choose to believe that it is so. Beyond shock, disbelief, unfairness and so much pain; these visits will help heal, comfort and assure you that you are not alone and that their souls will travel with you throughout your life...
Here for Grace is a blog for anyone suffering from a loss that has torn a piece from the thread of their soul. Dedicated to my late Grandmother Grace, paralyzed from the neck down by Multiple Sclerosis. Her greeting, from her bed in the hospital room that served as her world was always, "How are you?" We are here for love. We are here for Grace.
